Which is no longer in active development

They clearly changed their mind.

That "no longer developed" note is from September 2025.

They made a bunch of non-trivial improvements in 2026: https://simplenote.com/blog/

These appear to be a sort of AI-driven re-evaluation.

I am a sort of engaged cynic about AI but I am happy to chalk this one up as a straightforward win for the machines.

(I'm also quite intrigued about the other blog post regarding an MCP for Simplenote — I love the idea of an LLM's knowledge-base being accessible in such an instantaneous way)

That is sad but not surprising. I think they always had a bit more trouble with its sync system than they would have wanted.

I loved Simplenote for the longest time but ultimately simple pragmatism switched me to Apple Notes after dalliances with several task management apps.

doesnt VC money subsidise stuff all the time? Isnt that how Uber and AirBNB undercut competition?

Using omlx on the M1 max I get about 15tps from 27b

interesting! I might give omlx another chance, thank you

If select counts as a list, then I'd include radio buttons too because for single selection they're often a better choice

You could play back multiplayer Halo 3 matches in 3D, with a free camera. Was really interesting to see how matches played out, how you got killed and so on, and for taking cool screenshots.

The regulation is only concerned with cookies that are not required to provide the service. It makes no differentiation between first party and third party - if you use cookies for anything optional (like analytics) you need consent. So you can have third party non-cookie analytics for example without a banner.

Do you know an analytics service that actually does this? I've seen a bunch of "consentless" analytics solutions that seem to be violating GDPR one way or another because they use the IP address as an identifier (or as part of one).

(I worked on this pattern) Our guidance is to accept both names and numbers in the back end so people can enter either. In our testing, text inputs (with a numeric keyboard on mobile) is better than selects. Some people struggle with using selects, we don't see those issues in text inputs. That guidance maybe be about people not knowing the order of the inputs (DD MM YY, MM DD YY) but our pattern is clearly labeled for each input so we don't get that issue.

We did continue our testing which resulted in the pattern in the design system which is linked.

I'm not sure of every type of trouble folks might have using selects, but for the subset where using a hardware keyboard is required, you can usually type into a focused select just as you can type into a text input. Getting an Android/iOS on-screen keyboard to do this without a special configuration might not be a thing, I'll admit.

The only tricky part, for me, is deciding whether I should type a state abbreviation or a few letters of the full state name, which in my case differ enough to be quite annoying.
